New Alfa Romeo 4C

The Alfa Romeo 4C is at the Geneva Motor Show, while the Italian company had revealed about a month ago its "beauty" and several technical characteristics.
If you consider the car to be nothing more than a means of transport, think again. THE, better, take a few moments to browse the photo of the new Alfa Romeo 4C, in its final production form. Much has been written about the taste and elegance of the Italians, but here they really outdid themselves. Even more so if one connects to this visual effect the history of the name that the specific model carries, as well as its technical characteristics.

So this is Alfa Romeo's new little supercar, which made its first public appearance at the Geneva show. The concept of a "small supercar" might sound funny, but in practice it is about this.

Starting with the dimensions, the 4C does not exceed the 4 meters in length, the moment its width touches the 2 meters and the height reaches just 1,18 meters. The wheelbase, in turn, is less than 2,4 meters. In other words, it is a model with the length and width of a small car… Ferrari.

New engine 240 horses
For the needs of movement, οι μηχανικοί της Alfa Romeo φρόντισαν να εξελίξουν ένα καινούριο υπερτροφοδοτούμενο μηχανικό σύνολο 1,75 liter, το οποίο μάλιστα δεν τοποθέτησαν μπροστά, κάτω από το καπό αλλά στο κέντρο του αυτοκινήτου. This one works 240 horsepower, transferring the power to the rear axle, through a sophisticated double box, dry clutch, Alfa TCT.

This power, combined with the very low weight of the car, which remains below the 1.000 kilos (thanks to the extensive use of aluminum and carbon fiber) ensures a weight/power ratio marginally below 4, which is one of the best in a production car.

Alfa DNA with Race option
The Alfa Romeo 4C also marks the premiere of the new Alfa DNA selector, which offers the three standard options we have known so far -Dynamic, Natural and All Weather- but he adds one more: the Race, designed to further enhance the driving experience on racetracks.

Alfa Romeo's new small supercar will be built at Maserati's factory, in Modena, Italy. Its availability will start in the coming months, while, according to information, the 2014 we will also see its Stradale version, with increased power 270 horses.

Why Agathon Has His Nerves; "When Eurovision is over, they will pass you by, Mr Iakovidis"

I've been following him for weeks – as long as he can, that is, nobody to follow this merry-go-round of statements, which is something between wild haval and nervous delirium anyway.

In the beginning, it was Iliad's fault ("I won't be upset, if something happens before the final" "I don't know the lady, I don't know her songs"), then mario ("He shouldn't sing rebetika"), then Mazonakis, ("He can't sing"). Then deal with Kiamos, Phoebus ("He turns on the computer and writes fifty songs"), he grumbled at Angeliki and Thomas who forgot, says, to congratulate him, scolded Lazopoulos because the sound in "Tsadiri" was not good and Koza Mostra was discredited, he cursed the journalists who attack him and a disembarker who hinted that he should cut off his mustache and he smashed the windows with Zafiris Melas ("He's a stink dog and a half"). Who's next next?; Merkel, elvis, God, i know, the whole world.

You will tell me, they ask him. And since they ask him, he answers. What I don't understand is why Mr. Agathon Iakovidis (which has a history as well, from,what does it look like, respectable musical education ), considers, how every time a camera turns on him, it should "pop" like a flash-bang grenade. He thinks the noise is good for him; He has collected them for so many years and now the time has come for him to say them; He's a dude and doesn't mince his words and publicity stunts, where everyone supposedly gets along with everyone, he eats them for breakfast; The shock wave of sudden publicity, it's loud and has him a bit dazed; The rebetis and alternative is different; He was born nervous; Unknown.

I guess some people find this whole one man show amusing. Yesterday, to be exact, I heard Giorgos Tsalikis shouting "forget Agathon, set him free we'll have a good time". Not that it surprised me. I know this first hand, how this kind of daring liberalism, which does not obey showbiz "norms" and reminds of "disguised", ordinary people, "sells". That's why she's so attractive to the media - just as nice and happy as a baby playing with his ball, in the middle of the clearing with the hungry tigers. you are welcome, Nevertheless, don't laugh mr. Jacobides, In your baglamadaki, I swear to you, when the Eurovision perch falls, those who now turn up the volume on the microphones and are annoying, they will make you pass like a graphic, grumpy old man. That's how it happens, thus ends this project: at the end, everything, someone is eaten. Usually, the cat.
